ABCD-USA Consortium: Coordinating Center

项目摘要 在此，我们请求提供资金，以继续努力实现以下扩大原有范围的扩大目标 ABCD研究： ·解决有关性别认同，性认同和性健康的可能作用的重要问题 在修改重要的健康，心理健康，和其他成果衡量ABCD。 ·提高ABCD回答有关青少年性健康的重要问题的能力， 特别是关于性别和性行为的规范轨迹。 为了实现这一目标，ABCD联合体对研究的设计进行了修改， 有时发展，新的测量方法，在一个发展敏感和发展 知情的方式，性别认同，性认同，以及ABCD研究参与者的性健康。 需要对多个领域的研究评估进行持续评价，以确保研究 充分捕捉性和性别少数参与者可能增加的风险。 补充资金设立了性别认同和性健康委员会， 来自ABCD研究小组、NIH和CDC的成员。这台机器的功能与其他专家一样 ABCD中的工作组，负责与CC、DAIRC和其他 联合体内外的咨询和监督小组。在该提案中，我们描述了CC - 生成、评估、集成、监控、更新、解释和分析所需的DAIRC-数据库交互 共享ABCD研究中收集的所有数据。需要继续提供资金，用于正在进行的方案修订， 改善ABCD中的性别和性行为衡量，确保建议的有效性和青年接受 方案修订，并抵消将这些评估纳入当前 ABCD研究设计今年的资金包括一项股权审计（详见研究计划）， 来自芝加哥大学NORC的合同SGM学者将与GISH合作， ABCD协议，从ABCD利益相关者处收集信息，并准备一份报告通知联合体 性少数和性别少数参与者可能会有不同体验的礼仪领域。 这项工作的目的是通知未来的定性数据收集（焦点小组）从非ABCD青少年 （对SGM青少年进行过采样）关于GISH措施和其他已确定的方案要素以改进数据 收集方法。

PROJECT SUMMARY Here we request funds to continue work to pursue the following augmented aims that expand the original scope of the ABCD study: • Address important questions about the possible roles of gender identity, sexual identity, and sexual health in modifying important health, mental health, and other outcomes measured in ABCD. • Enhance the capacity within ABCD to answer important questions about sexual health in adolescents, particularly about normative trajectories of gender and sexuality. To accomplish this, the ABCD consortium has made modifications to the design of the study adding, and sometimes developing, new methods for measuring, in a developmentally sensitive and developmentally informed manner, the gender identity, sexual identity, and sexual health of participants in the ABCD study. Ongoing evaluation of the study assessments across multiple domains are needed to ensure that the study adequately captures risks that may be increased in sexual and gender minority participants. The supplemental funding has established the Gender Identity and Sexual Health (GISH) workgroup with membership from the ABCD investigator group, NIH, and CDC. This workgroup functions like other expert workgroups in ABCD with responsibility for a specific set of interactions with the CC, DAIRC, and other advisory and oversight groups within and external to the consortium. In the proposal, we describe the CC - DAIRC-workgroup interactions required to generate, evaluate, integrate, monitor, update, interpret, an d share all data collected within the ABCD Study. Continued funding is needed for ongoing protocol revision to improve measurement of gender and sexuality in ABCD, ensuring the validity and youth acceptance of proposed protocol revisions, and to offset costs to the centers and sites of including these assessments within the current ABCD study design. This year’s funding includes an equity audit (detailed in the research plan), where contract SGM scholars from NORC at the University of Chicago, will work with the GISH workgroup to review the ABCD protocol, gather information from ABCD stakeholders, and prepare a report informing the consortium of protocol areas that have the potential to be experienced differently by sexual and gender minority participants. This work is intended to inform future qualitative data collection (focus-groups) from non-ABCD adolescents (oversampling SGM adolescents) on the GISH measures and other identified protocol elements to improve data collection methods.
